BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

Roosevelt Skerrit, prime minister of Dominica, said that a preliminary assessment found that basic infrastructure damage from tropical storm Erika that recently hit the country amounts to almost half of the country's gross domestic product, reported The Associated Press.

Mr. Skerrit said that repairing roads and bridges would cost at least $226 million and more than $14 million is required to rebuild one of the country's airports. "Every piece of equipment at the airport has been destroyed beyond use," added Mr. Skerrit.
